As our kids have gotten older, it’s time to focus our herd on their specific pursuits and 4-H projects, so these four terrific horses are ready for someone else to enjoy and continue bringing along. These are not horses that have been passed around or been through auctions, these are single-owner, low-mileage, quality horses, looking for their perfect matches.

Meet River, Remi, Belle, and Trigger each born and/or raised right here with us. Cared for with patience, consistency, and known histories – no soundness or health issues.

𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫: 4yr old willing, well-mannered, gorgeous buckskin mare. Allowed to fully mature. She’s been handled, saddled but remains a classic clean-slate (unstarted). 14.2h

𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢: Newly gelded, flashy yearling with a big personality and stunning color. Perfect for someone looking to bring along a young prospect.

𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞: Kind, athletic dun mare with heart, speed, and versatility. Loves people, kids, and being the center of attention. Best suited for an intermediate rider or confident teen, would absolutely thrive with consistent riding and miles. 14.1h, 13 yrs old.

𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫: Striking black gelding with a strong foundation and overflowing potential. Best suited for an experienced rider, looking for feel and a smart horse to season on the trails or in the arena. 15h, 7 yrs old.

Happy 1st Birthday to Remi… or Re*****on when he’s in trouble 😂 Cute, naughty, and full of personality. We’re excited to start really working with him. He’s already proving he’s smart and ready to learn (even if he pretends not to be sometimes).

Finally got snow! The kids think it’s magical, and the horses have officially decided they’ve served their sentence and are ready to tear up the pastures again. Annie and Remi have also become best friends during this week-long barn stay—bonded by cold weather and extra hay, apparently. Thank y’all so much for your patience with lessons while we survive this cold snap (frozen hoses and all). Stay warm, hug your animals, and we’ll see everyone very soon!

Carl Wayne: 9 yr old bay QH gelding

If you’ve been looking for a solid, youth-sized horse with some cow sense already in his back pocket, Carl Wayne is worth a look.

At 13.1 hands, he’s a comfortable fit for an average youth rider or even a smaller adult. He’s built well and hasn’t been ridden hard. This horse has loads of untapped potential and would be an ideal fit for a kid who wants to ride ALL day. Every day.

While here with us, Carl Wayne has been exposed to cattle and introduced to the rope. I can see him finishing out into a handy little mount for pushing cows and playing in the roping pen. He’s also stellar on the trails and would make a terrific addition to an adventurous family, looking for a dependable weekend trail partner. Load him up and GO.

Would he make a good lesson horse? He really needs to be fully finished out. I think consistent work from a rider who’s ready to bring him along and put the miles on would get him there, if that’s the route you want to take him.

In the pasture, he’s middle in the pecking order, easy to get along with, and turns out well with mares and geldings. He’s the best we have when it comes to standing for the farrier, and he loads and hauls without issue.

Carl Wayne can be handled easily by a handy kid and has the kind of honest foundation that makes him a smart investment for someone willing to finish him out. We are happy to talk more in-depth with serious buyers who want additional details.

Update: Leroy has been sold

Leroy is the kind of horse you trust from day one.
Gentle, kind, and confident on the trail, he’s just as easy on the ground. His laid-back demeanor makes him a comfortable fit for a wide range of riders, and he’s happy to go at your pace.

A seasoned trail partner, Leroy handles varied terrain with ease and takes everything in stride. He’s levelheaded, dependable, and puts honest effort into every ride. Leory is not meant to be a lesson horse or a barrel prospect, but he’s definitely your go-to guy for trail miles, creek crossings, and backroad adventures.

Before coming to us, Leroy was used as a bulldogging horse and still shows that calm, collected mindset around cows. He’s unbothered by ranch-life distractions like ATVs, noisy kids, dogs, or tractors. Whether you’re headed out alone or riding with a group, Leroy brings confidence, a good mind, and a sweet personality that make him an easy favorite.

𝐀𝐠𝐞: 21 (grade, with paperwork confirming DOB)
𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: 14.2 hands
𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Lillington, NC

Check out Leroy's complete listing on our website: https://www.southriverranchnc.com/leroy

This Valentine’s Day is a little sweeter on the Ranch. We are beyond excited to introduce Remi! After keeping an eye on Belle all night she decided the arena was the best spot to have him after her morning turnout Monday morning. It was a long 72 hours but Belle and Remi are doing amazing!
